"I thought you'd be the first one to leave."
She interrupted the "cat and mouse" game, turned around to face the newcomer who was looking down and whose expression was not clear: "It's amazing that you can still stand here, Saber."
The only Heroic Spirit who truly belonged to the Holy Grail War and did not leave the stage stood before him, but not as an ally or an enemy, but as a soldier who had lost his honor, his faith, and everything.
“Tell me, Berserker, if I weren’t the Caster Eve standing here, what would you do?”
"How to do it?"
Seemingly utterly bewildered by the question, Lin Yi smiled after a brief moment of surprise: "Didn't you already answer yourself? By saying 'I killed the father of my own child again'."
The fact that she was able to stand here already says a lot. We don’t even need to see that scene directly; we can deduce a lot of information just from the few words the main god gave us, including the fact that she killed the summoned Rider Mordred seven minutes and twenty-one seconds ago.
"Is that so..."
"In this respect, we're no different, Saber. You're willing to sacrifice your child for a vague dream, so isn't it the same if I sacrifice my own creation for the same reason?"
"That's right, what really matters is what comes after the sacrifice..."
Having abandoned all beliefs and ideals, the soldier—neither a knight nor a swordsman, but simply a soldier fighting for victory—raises the sublime holy sword, radiating a brilliant golden light in response to her resolve to fight solely for victory.
"Ah, the important thing is after they've been completely consumed..."
"What was the result? 208?5 Cold for a long time 3 Stroll for a long time?"
"EX——"
Graviton energy storage
A golden glow swept across the field of vision, making the deep red particles that merely rested on the fingertips seem insignificant in comparison.
"calibur!!!"
"……projection"
If one can discern a person's will and beliefs from their attacks and battles, then this golden radiance might very well be the radiance formed from the will and beliefs of the Knight King throughout his life. Bathed in this radiance, Lin Yi had to admit that it indeed possessed a captivating magic that could make people obsessively follow it, even at all costs. However—
"Compared to reality, ideals are so fragile."
The red particles, piercing back through the all-consuming golden torrent, silently penetrated the sacred sword symbolizing victory. After breaking down the material on the armor's surface into its most basic atomic form, they gently entered from the heart end and exited from the other, traversing the deep night sky to a corner beyond the reach of sight and finally disappearing.

"It's you next."
He lowered his right hand, which was still slightly hot from the gravity particle attack, and turned to look at the devastated ruins ahead. As for the Noble Phantasm attack that had just hit him head-on...
"pat"
Lin Yi glanced at the bone armor that was beginning to repair itself, then stepped forward.

Justice and correctness can never coexist. If one abandons correctness for the sake of justice, then a person will lose the reason for existence in a moral sense. It means that he must choose any possible choice in order to uphold justice, even if it means killing, killing his own father, his own adoptive mother, his own wife, his own daughter... things that any human being knows are wrong.
If the goal is to be right, then justice cannot be upheld.
Because that means that Kiritsugu Emiya must ignore all the injustices happening in the world and hide in his own little corner to seek his own sense of right and security, which is also the choice of the vast majority of people.
However, Kiritsugu Emiya could not do it. So he acted in order to uphold justice, but also suffered because he violated what was right. He lived such a twisted life until he discovered the "Holy Grail War," an all-powerful wish-granting machine that claimed to be able to grant the victor's every wish.
After gaining the trust of the Einzbern family through his consistent lies, the Magician Killer participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War as a Master. In order to obtain the Holy Grail that could realize his ultimate ideal, he almost abandoned the few remaining "right" principles and completely became a killing machine that acted only for "justice". So, when justice and his daughter were placed on the scales, he chose justice and killed his daughter—in front of his daughter.
"So, Daddy cries because of Ilya too."
The illusory world crumbled under the magician's manipulation, and what appeared before Kiritsugu Emiya was something that made him instinctively hold his breath.
“I...Lya…”
“It’s me, Dad.”
A Heroic Spirit from the Throne of Heroes smiles at her former father: "You just killed your own daughter."
What kind of mentality did she have as she watched herself kill "her"? Kiritsugu Emiya was unwilling and dared not imagine. The pursuit of "justice" had become the only redemption for the magician killer who had committed all these sins that the world could not tolerate. So, after a brief silence, Kiritsugu Emiya raised his weapon once again—aiming at Illya, the daughter he had once killed with his own hands.
"Step aside."
"Does Daddy want to kill Mommy?"
The innocent-looking girl raised a cruel question in a naive tone, and received an equally cruel answer: "Alice is the vessel for the Holy Grail, and this is necessary to obtain the Holy Grail."
As if ignoring the Magician Killer's futile explanation, the girl with the same white hair and red eyes stubbornly sought an answer: "Did Daddy want to kill Mommy?"
This question is exceptionally simple, at least compared to pulling the trigger; it only requires a single syllable. So why don't you want to answer it?
Hesitantly, Kiritsugu Emiya opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't utter a sound at all.
In a sense, this may be the most difficult problem.
The girl smiled gently at his reply: "If Daddy doesn't want to kill Mommy, then get out of the way."
—It should be refused.
My consciousness tells me clearly time and again that I have no choice but to give up after committing such a heavy sin, but why can't I do anything when I face this face?
The magician killer involuntarily took a step back—a decisive step.
"...What do you want to do?"
After asking the question in a voice so strained that even he couldn't recognize it, Kiritsugu Emiya felt as if he had lost all his strength. The weapon in his hand, which had taken too many lives, was so heavy that he didn't even have the right to hold it tight any longer, and he gently fell to the ground.
In response to Kiritsugu Emiya's question, the magician smiled and said, "So that Mom can live."
"Alice? Impossible, she's the vessel for the Holy Grail, ever since the Holy Grail War—"
“The rules are different now, Father. It promised that as long as Berserker is defeated, Ilya’s wish can be granted, not with the corrupted Holy Grail, but with the power of the ‘Root’.”
Gently rising into the air, the girl looked back at the bewildered Kiritsugu Emiya with a determined gaze: "Wait for my father, we will definitely return to the happy life we had before."

"unlimited blade works——!"
On the desolate plain filled with countless weapons of various shapes, a huge, motionless gear hangs in the sky. The archer, who has lost an arm, tries his best to manipulate these countless weapons to destroy the one standing in front of him. However, the weapons that can easily kill other heroic spirits cannot even pierce the armor on his body. He is just wasting his little remaining magic power in vain until the other party is indeed standing in front of him.
"It looks good."
With her raised left hand, she grasped a sword blade that was being fired at her. A slash created a gust of wind that blew away the subsequent attacks, revealing the white-haired heroic spirit standing behind her, panting heavily: "But it's just that it looks good."
"Hmph...ha...the archer class really isn't suited for melee combat..."
"Good to know. Remember to stay further away next time—about 5,000 meters should be enough."
The falling blade pierced through the heroic spirit along with the bounded field, and in a daze, he found himself back in the ruins he had been in before, only now there was a figure beside him that shouldn't have been there—
At the critical moment, relying on his attributes which were more than twice that of his opponent, he forcibly twisted his body to avoid the attack. However, he felt a collision coming from his left hand. While his opponent created distance, Lin Yi did not pursue, but instead watched as his left hand, whose bone armor was constantly cracking under a simple "slide".
Moreover, the attempt to direct the proliferating cells to repair themselves failed, and the conclusion provided by the main deity offered an explanation for this.
This part of the organization's information has been blocked by the current world rules and can only be fixed by leaving the current world.
"I'm becoming more and more curious about your eyes."
Abandoning the repair of the proliferation armor on his left hand, Lin Yi grinned as he looked at the assassins who were on high alert. Just as the final battle was about to erupt, a very familiar summoning script suddenly came from above—
"Declaration——"
Magical Mysteries: Chapter 195 Fate's Night (7)
The mission went very smoothly.
Although the Heroic Spirits in this world are quite powerful, whether it's Lancer with his own anti-magic treasures, or Saber and Rider who are kings, or even Archer who looks formidable at first glance... If Yuki Takeya were to rely solely on the immense power these Heroic Spirits possess, she wouldn't even be able to stand in front of them, let alone fight them. However, she has backup.
The two AAA-level aerial combat mages from the Time and Space Administration are at the upper level of combat power even in the Time and Space Administration, whose footprints have spread to countless worlds. They wouldn't be at a disadvantage if they were sent to a mere planet.
The strangeness and mystery of magic in this world caused the group some trouble, but after the two mages became more vigilant, they still managed to overcome all obstacles and finally stood before the "Holy Grail," the ultimate goal of their mission.
"No notification was given that the task was completed."
She had clearly completed the mission requirements, but an unexpected situation occurred for Yuki Takeya—the omnipotent wish-granting machine, bathed in mysterious light, was right in front of her waiting to be obtained, but the mission on the God Watch was still half-dead and in an inactive state. Not only that, a whole week had passed since the Holy Grail War began, and the senior reincarnator who had accompanied her had disappeared without a trace without ever showing his face, which made her extremely puzzled.
"Could something have gone wrong?"
Subconsciously, she cast questioning glances at the two mages. Naturally, both mages, who were equally unfamiliar with this world, shook their heads. Helpless, the girl could only console herself.
"Maybe I have to touch it... Hmm, it'll be alright!"
Harboring a sense of hesitation that even he himself wasn't entirely sure about, the reincarnator carefully attached his mental energy to the "Holy Grail," then slowly pulled it closer to himself...
"Declaration——"
"Eh?"

Because of the loopholes in the rules of the Holy Grail War, Servants summoned as Caster class Servants can bypass the rule restrictions and carry out additional "Servant Summoning" as long as they have a certain level of magical skill. It was by taking advantage of this loophole that Lin Yi had Eve summon many "magical devices" as consumable items in the early stages of the Holy Grail War, and even magical nuclear weapons were summoned as Servants.
Similarly, once Eve has lost her status as a Caster and the Counter Force summons a new Caster class, it is only natural to repeatedly exploit this loophole to perform multiple summons—except for the "Heroic Spirits" she summons.

Emerging from the suspended Heroic Spirit Summoning Circle were none other than the "teammates" who should have been in Fuyuki City but had been absent for so long. Considering that the Caster who summoned them belonged to the Counter Force and their current stance and appearance, these "teammates" could hardly be called "teammates" at all; on the contrary, they were "opponents."
Normally, the two allies he had painstakingly recruited had turned into the enemy's most powerful pawns, a situation that should have been the worst possible outcome. However, faced with this scene, the smile behind the bone-armored mask could no longer be suppressed—
"I see... So that's how it is."
Some people understood, while others were still completely confused.
For the two mages who had just been summoned as "Heroic Spirits," everything that was happening now was incomprehensible to them: they had already defeated all the Heroic Spirits in Fuyuki City and ended the Holy Grail War without sacrificing anyone to win the Holy Grail, so why did they reappear in the sky above another Fuyuki City that had almost been reduced to ruins at the moment of final victory? Furthermore, the Heroic Spirits that should have disappeared all of them reappeared in front of them in different forms.
"What exactly happened—"
"In the name of the Command Spell, I command you—defeat the Berserker!"
The mage's questions remained unanswered. As the pre-arranged countermeasures were launched one after another, the mage, who possessed great strength but lacked the mental fortitude to match it, was compelled by the Command Seals to attack another player as a pawn in the game.
Not only that.
"In the name of the Command Seals, I command you—to unleash your strongest Noble Phantasm!"
Lin Yi no longer intended to count how many Command Seals appeared in the hands of the girl named Illya. After all, trying to count how many creations a creator with manufacturing abilities possessed was a foolish thing to do. Compared to this foolishness, Lin Yi was sure that he had made a more "wise" choice.
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly over the two magic circles above his head that could flatten Fuyuki City.
"—!"
"—!"
The massive magical fluctuations that had been hovering in the sky abruptly ceased, and the two mages instantly lost all their power and plummeted to the ground. Just as they were puzzled as to why they had suffered defeat at the moment of victory, Ilya, still suspended in the sky, was equally unable to comprehend what had happened in that brief instant: two invaders from another world whose strength was almost equivalent to half a mage had been defeated so easily.
"Don't worry, I will explain it to you little by little... before we truly decide the fate of this world."
----------segmentation----------
It all started from the very beginning.
Lin Yi had a question when he first noticed the loopholes in the rules of this magical world.
In this dynamic magical world, the concepts of "magic" and "magic" are limited to only a small group of people—which is not surprising. The Parasite World and the Blacklight Virus World had similar structures, maximizing the amplification effect by limiting all activity to a small number of individuals.
However, there are huge differences in these similarities: both the parasite and the Blacklight virus undoubtedly have the potential to spread this "activity" all over the world, and the total amount of activity will continue to increase rather than decrease as the spread progresses.
But what about in this world?
Mystique limits the spread of magic and magic. While more ordinary people might grasp the concept of magic, the corresponding decline in the skill level of existing magicians would occur. In other words, the total amount of magic activity would not increase with the spread of the concept of magic, but would remain unchanged.
This is a rather unusual phenomenon, but that alone cannot explain anything until Lin Yi puts it together with the phenomena of the mechanical world.
Both involve the diffusion of activity, but the old-era magic of the Machine World follows an indiscriminate diffusion pattern. Anyone with the will can learn and master magic, and the total amount of activity averages out within a certain area. But what about World Ten? When it is mastered by a few magicians, their magic is indeed powerful, and its power is fully commensurate with the level of the Medium Activity World. At least, it can easily wipe out the old-era magic of the Machine World without any problem. But what if the activity is evenly distributed among everyone?
Through the calculations of the main god, Lin Yi obtained a very interesting result: the total activity of a medium-active world is not even half of the total activity of a low- or medium-active world.
